LOS ANGELES — By the time Nick Hundley completed his circuit of the bases, scoring the Giants’ fourth run in the ninth inning, the environs of Dodger Stadium were filled with boos and brake lights.

All except for one raucous visiting dugout. Hundley ran its length like a fullback, hunching his shoulders and lowering his head and bowling his way through his teammates with a spin move or two. He wasn’t sure how to describe what he was doing. Probably because he still isn’t sure what he was doing.

“Yeah, not a lot of thought into it,” he said. “Just find an open space.”

Open space was the theme of Monday night’s 5-2 comeback victory, which ranked as one of the Giants’ best of the season. Hundley found a patch of it with his two-out, bases-loaded pinch single, lining the first pitch from Scott Alexander to right-center to turn a one-run deficit into a one-run advantage.
